Finally an explanation why my air brush was spiting! No one else ever showed this on their channels. Thank you need more of this!

This is the most important and most overlooked concept in airbrushing. You’d be surprised how much this minimizes dry tip too. So many videos out there addressing dry tip and no one mentions this very important technique. Well done mate

I'm a beginner at airbrushing and have looked at a few tutorials, but you are the first to share that very important tip. Thanks for the info.

Tried airbrushing dozens of times over the past 7 years. I always got horrible results, felt defeated-pissed off, and threw my airbrush back in a drawer. I've watched a ton of Youtube vids for tips but none ever mentioned this method of keeping the air flowing. I tried it tonight for the first time and the results were incredible. I can't thank you enough for this video and your other vids which explain the proper psi and paint thinning for beginners. I'm actually sitting here trying to figure out how many things I can airbrush.

Having owned an airbrush for about 13 years and only pulled it out once, I know understand why that one time was a miserable failure. Thanks. Loved the turtle...

Oh my god I had no idea I should’ve kept the air running after finishing my stroke! That makes so much sense! I was getting annoying splatters when I went to start a new section and constant blockages and I kept thinking I had a problem with the actual airbrush itself. I can’t wait to try this new tip! Thank you so much!

Just bought my first secondhand airbrush/compressor and just looking for tutorials to get started. This is literally the first I've watched and I feel that I may have just learned the most valuable lesson I'll ever learn! Plus, having never even held an airbrush until today, I won't have to unlearn a bad habit. Thank you!

Man, you nailed it! I gave up on my airbrushing because I kept getting stippeling when I started a new spot. Now I got a reason to try it again. You made alot of sense when you said that you where listening for the air. Thanks for the help

IN TWO AND A HALF YEARS OF USING AIRBRUSHES TO PAINT MINIATURES NO ONE BOTHERED TO MENTION I WAS SUPPOSED TO KEEP THE AIR RUNNING UNTIL NOW I always was like "what's with all this damn friggin clogging and stuff?! I thought I'm doing it all right!!!" It's been almost a year since I did any airbrushing and probably all b/c either no one ever mentioned as much to me or I never caught it when they did. I'm coming back, paint stained filter spray booth! I'm comin back to you!!! :'-D

I recently started trying to airbrush minis, with an Iwata Eclipse SBS, mostly for priming/basecoat. I was quickly becoming disenfranchised with he whole process, as I could not keep the airbrush from splattering and clogging after only a moment of use. I just employed your advice/technique, and have already improved quality of life with my airbrush. You sir, are a blessing, and have saved me from countless hours of frustration I'm sure. Got my sub, great tip and keep 'em coming.

I just bought my first airbrush last night... I'm very excited and I feel that this video alone explains exactly how the double action works. This will be the first exercise that I will practice. Thank you. 🙌

Great fundamental to share. I found that a hunk of dense foam (cut from the case my airbrush came in) stuck to the trigger with double sided tape, considerably helps with control and fatigue. Essentially, the foam makes a taller and more responsive trigger that really helps. Give it a shot. I used Guerilla Glue brand tape so it's good and on there.

I've started airbrushing in January, and im really thankful for your video. I have been trying to paint a car body and the paint work was pish. now it all makes sense. the blobs, the stains. I was definitely using the wrong pressure, the wrong distance and the wrong diluting. back to sanding the whole body again and priming all over... that will probably be the 4th time, but I'll learn!

Your video completely changed how I use my airbrush. Now I have much better control. In the 18 months or so since I first watched this, my models look so much better. It has also given me greater confidence using various shading techniques.

As a beginner, I'd never found such an essencial piece of information in any other video! Thank you so much for sharing.

Technically dual action but in reality, leaving air on and doing single paint action is a great tip especially for those of us that can’t chew gum and walk. Thanks!

FINALLY, someone who understands the most important tip for using a double action airbrush! It was one of the first things I learned and I rarely have excessive dry tip! I'll have to try that technique of having the finger overhanging the trigger! I've seen some people use their thumb but never found that natural.

I have been planning to get one for miniatures, I was comparing some brushes and didn't know what double-action meant. Most appreciated!
